Eatin’ at Great Grandma’s….

Dear Mom and Dad, 

I had an important date at my great grandparents home tonight, and wouldn’t you know… once again I was faced with making a choice. 

Red or Black?  I was not sure which color shoes to wear to the dinner date.

Today was a special dinner with the family.  Great Grandma made me, mashed potato’s and matzo ball soup, and I love the matzo balls.  I even nibbled on a bit of apple that Nana made just right for me to eat. (that means she smashed it)  I also ate cooked carrots (also smashed), and of course a “delish and nutrish-bob”.   It was scrumptous.  My ears are doing so much better, that pink medicine, AMOXICILLIN, did the trick.  Here I am waiting for Poppy to come pick me up and go to my date.  Yea, it is totally cool for a Poppy to go on a date being I am only 9 months old.    

 So I waited, and when he finished his long day, he came home and picked me (and the other campers too) up for our date with GG-ma and Great Papa

I was ready to go…

Finally out of Camp Quarantine…

Smiles on board, and yes, I decided upon the red shoes, but Nana put the black in my diaper bag  “just in case” .  

In case of what I don’t really know but they are there should I need them.

I spent the rest of the night being cute and adorable.  Would you expect less?  I am having so much fun at camp.  You and daddy should know that I am so happy!   I will be happiest when we are all together, but for now… I am soooo loved, and everyone makes me feel so special.  

I am ready to go, and  so we all piled into Poppy’s car and it was off to GG-ma’s. 

I know all the campers, and family were thinking about you and dad, wishing you could be there too…

and you will be soon.  

About 8 weeks or so we will be hanging together, and this will be you holding me!  Can you please wear a shirt with those stringy things, I love when I can play with them… it could entertain me for hours just playing with those…

Don’t worry that I didn’t get in any practice time to crawl because you know how awesome the floor is at Great Grandma’s house.   Nana has that brown hard yukko stuff everywhere… but crawling at Great grandma’s carpet is soft, and free of DOG/KITTY hair!   What an awesome treat!

What  a novel idea, no kitty or dog hair, but I must admit I truly love the animals at camp Nana, they are so adorable… so much so that they should probably have their owns “site”.   But working on the Princess Crawl at Great Grandma’s was total fun. I hope you are both doing okay, and that you enjoyed seeing me today.   Until I write you again, please know I am now and always will be your Little Miss Adroable, your daughter…

Guillianna!

Some REALLY difficult choices…

Dear Mom and Dad,

I had a great day today.  I am sleeping much better, and my ears seem much better.   Maybe they just had enough of Nana’s singing.  Nah, I am just kidding… the doctor says it is from all the sinus drainage I have had with teething, and bam… just like that… it happens!   Well, let me tell you… I do not like it, not one bit!   I am doing better and  I am really looking forward to feeling like my old self, all nine months worth.     

So today, Nana was telling me, about how life has so many choices, this was right after my “no drugs” lecture, because according to television, “it’s never too early”!   So anyway, she gets to  telling me about how there are so many choices in life.    She says there are so many choices to make, about so many things, and that our choices shape our lives….(hmmmmm, can you hear that wooooosh sound, it is the sound of stuff FLYING over my little adorable head…, I am definately feeling that I am a little young for this talk…)  But that Nana, she goes on and on… Things like what we eat, going to school and for what career, our choices about marriage, kids…. whether to have one  – or in some cases SIX!  Personally, at this age… it is all blah, blah, blah and far more than my brain can handle… but I do get what she is sayin’  since it happened to me today.   See I wanted a remote… and yes Nana cleaned them, but I just couldn’t decide  – Do I want silver? Do I want black? 

Silver has so many more colorful buttons, but well black is the same color as the ‘black beast’ , aw, this is so hard…

Then I did it, I made my choice…

I could sense this was the one to go with! I am sure of it!  I am crazy happy with this choice, can you tell, I feel a little mischievous CAN YOU TELL

I barely get into playing with the thing, silly games like … “Is this a flute?”  and other fun ones…

Then Aunt Arri and Uncle Nick said ‘hey Guge, how about we practice the Princess Crawl?”   Now I told you I am not a fan… why crawl when I can just roll, or have someone bring me what I want…but the beast caught it for you to see…

and I worked… and worked, trying to get to my intended target… my remote!

Here I go.. PUT ONE HAND IN FRONT OF THE OTHER… AND SOON YOU’LL BE CRAWLIN’….. OR maybe not….

I am workin it sister, and here I go…

almost…. but first I need to rest…. can I just say, this is hard work!

But Nana say’s hard work pays off..

and it did, it doesn’t matter that I had a little help from Aunt Arrianna either, all I know is I need a “sweat” no correct that, a Princess Perspiration Towlette… ahhhh thank you!

now where is that thing I worked so hard to get…

Well, Mom and Dad, I was hoping you would enjoy seeing me at work.   But I wiped myself right out…. until tomorrow, please know I am as always, Your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Butterfly Kisses

Dear Mom and Dad,

Mommy used to have a favorite song, about  ‘Butterfly Kisses’ and Nana was noticing how I have the perfect eyelashes to send you both some, they are nearly long enough that I bet if you close your eyes, you will be able to feel them on your cheeks. 

Today, Nana let me out of quarantine, but not to go swimming, (sorry Goldfish mini’s your parents will be thankful I didn’t come, because they would not want the “CRUD” and I don’t want to pass it.   I was being driven around a bit in the car, so I can sit up in my car seat and maybe sleep a bit more, and then Great Grandma and Great Papa, let me come infect their house.   I even got a little book about loving my mom and dad from them, it has all kinds of touchy feeling things hanging off it, as I am a true fan of touching and feeling things.   If I am not eating it, I am feeling it…. and often I combine both activities in no specific order, touch first eat next, then I love to eat and touch all kinds of things… in addition to my little book I got the best thing ever… a teething bagel.   I gnawed away at it, and loved on it… and sucked on it, and NO FUN NANA  DIDN’T HAVE TO TAKE IT AWAY… cause it is tasty, and hard as can be.   TEETHING BAGEL.. definately a thumbs up.  (SPEAKING OF THUMBS UP… THE CLAPPER ON MY PAGE HAS BEEN CHANGED, NOW YOU CAN SAY THUMBS UP or down, and tell me how many stars I get.   (I LIKE TO GET 10 of 10 STARS… AND FAVORITE PHOTOS WILL BE SENT TO MOM AND DAD!)  We only stayed at Great Grandman and Great Papa’s house for  a while, but while there I had great fun.  Here is a look at the rest of my photos… the beast and I were busy…

Pretty adorable huh?  I thought so, I was being so silly for Nana….

My hair is starting to grow a bit.  I am hard to keep still… I go go go… as a matter of fact sitting in the chair was not easy…

I arch my back and stick my legs out straight when I AM DONE POSING… no matter if Nana and the beast are done or not, I call the shots….. and Nana has to be VERY QUICK  or I am on the move…

Not that I will crawl… I just scoot about, arching my back or literally rolling over until I reach my destination… roll, roll, roll, it’s just fun, and well so far crawling for me has been over rated.  

I talk all the time, and usually in a fairly unique style that tells anyone in the room they better be listening to ME!  I will let them know to listen up by just talking louder… and getting the attention I am after… if you notice I am pretty serious when I am talking… and telling my stories… Until tomorrow mom and dad, please know I love you very much… and I hope you are both doing okay.   Remember while you sleep tonight my little face, and know that today as always, I am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter, (with butterfly kisses sent your way… )

Guillianna!

Back to the Pediatrician…

Lisa September 15, 2009 2Comments

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today Nana took me back to see my pediatrician.   While she and poppy seem to be feeling a little better, and less COLD like.. I am not.    Nana wanted to have the pediatrician look at me again.  They weighed me to make sure I am not losing weight, and I was not.   I weighed exactly the same.   It has only been a week!   The doctor examined me very carefully, and I am breathing good, my lungs are clear, even though I am coughing a lot from the drippy crud in my nose and sinus cavity.   I have a double ear infection… and that is why laying down is so hard for me.   The doctor has me on an antibiotic for ten days.   Nana will be on the watch you can be sure to make sure I don’t get any rashes or have any problems taking a new medicine.   Nana says she is so sorry that I got an ear infection since she tries so hard to keep me healthy and happy.  GREAT NOW I WILL BE WEARING A PARKA IN 70 DEGREE WEATHER… OR  HAVE A SNOW SUIT ON WHEN THE LEAVES BEGIN TO CHANGE COLOR!  

Wow, it’s a bit much to handle getting teeth and a cold with an ear infection too… but I laugh in the face of difficulty…

All in all, I am doing okay.  All campers busy, but Nana kept me ‘ENTERTAINED’ and with the exception of hating the little blue boogie sucker, I had a pretty decent day.   Nana knows I love Baby Einstein so she got me a new DVD to watch…  and aside from a crusty or running nose in most of my photos…. I am still clearly Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!
